The real-world evidence from recent NCDR research provides insights related to the operator's career stage and outcomes from PCI, as well as transcatheter mitral valve-in-ring as an alternative approach for patients with high surgical risk. Other studies leveraging #NCDR data have shown that the fifth-generation SAPIEN 3 Ultra Resilia valve, compared with earlier generation SAPIEN valves, lowers mean gradients and paravalvular leak, and substantial site-level variation in permanent pacemaker implantation persists.
